Beware of Frequent Colds
A succession of coldB or ft protract
ed cold Is almost certain to end in
chronic iatarrh, from which few per
sons ever wholly recover. Give every
cold the attention It deserves and
you may avoid this disagreeable dls
'ease. How can you cure a cold? Why
not try Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy? It Is highly recommended.
Mrs. M. White, of Butler, Tenn., says:

with my throat and lungs. Someone
told me of 1 Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. I began using it and It re
lieved me at once. Now my throat

MYRTLE CREEK ALONE
OPPOSES ROAD LEVY.
22 Oilier Districts Vote Speriul Tuv,
and Four More Will, Also i
Plnns for Ureens District.
Of the 27 road districts In Doug
las county which, through their sup
ervisors, tiled special tax resolutions
with the county court, 22 have voted
on the tax, and only one of these fail
ed to carry the question of a levy.
Of the remaining Ave, Glendnle.
Galesvllle and West Roseburg have
not yet reported and Deer Creek
(from the city boundary, east) and
Greens (from the southern extremity
of Mill Street to the top of Roberts
Hill) voted this afternoon. Deer
Creek levied a tax of 2 mills.
The on-, district which refused to
vote a special tax Includes the town
of Myrtle Creek, In which it was pro
posed to levy 3 mills. Out of over
300 property owners In the district,
only 15 -showed up at the meeting
this week and eight of those voted
against the proposition, thus killing
It. It is altogether probable that
when reports are all In, Myrtle Creek
will stand forth conspicuously as the
only district out of 27 in the county
that passed preliminary resolutions
and then turned down the proposition
for a special tax.'
The levies voted by the districts
which have so far reported range all
the way from 10 mills to 2 mills.
Anchor, on Cow Creek, Gardiner and
Happy Valley, are the districts which
have voted a 10-mill tax. At Greens
this afternoon it is proposed to vote a
3-mill tax, and the levy will be made
beyond a doubt.
Fifteen or more of Rosehurg's
property owners, headed by County
Judge Wonacott, are at Greens this
afternoon to participate in the road
meeting, and they are there for the
purpose of seeing that the levy Is
voted. Some radical improvements
will be made in this district next
year. What is commonly known as
the Parrott hill, near the old power
plant, Is to be cut down and the
abutting bridge is td be raised so as
to materially reduce the grade at that
point. From- there on to the first
railroad crossing at Shady Point,
about two miles distant, the road is
to be given a uniform width of 60
I feet. At the other end of the dis
trict, from the top of Roberts Hill to
the bottom, about one-half a mile in
distance, the grade Is to be cut down.
In 1910, It is planned to Improve the
Intervening stretch of road In the
district. Two of the three railroad
crossings in the Shady Point locality
will be eliminated, and the road will
be diverted into Jeptha Green's lane
and then on to the bottom of Roberts '
Hill.

Alarmed over the activity of othor

surveys have been ordored of a great

Th' things a feller uaea In th' woods
an Bwimr.ila' pool
I'd have 'em i.tw an' shiny when they

But Just because It always comes
around the Bame old day
I git th' same old presents In th'
Bame old ChrlBtmas way! '
I never git a bat an' ball. If Christ

In June, I'd have enough t' keep th'

Then, I might git a pony, II Krl9

When 1 could feed hint grass Instead

If ChrlBtmas came in April Santa

Aroun' fer every little boy a (ussy

A ' cap an' boots an' gloves he'd
bring him something he could use
When he 'leaves hiB coat at home an'

I'm waiting for th' summer an' I'm
lonely for th spring;
But Santa Claus Is coiuln' an' he'll
never leave a thing
To suit me In vacation, when they let

A dog t' ketch a grlnnlet-er a bobbin
